Here's the TMZ post-Grammy story that got the ball rolling. Though the headline proclaims that Carney says Bieber doesn't deserve a Grammy, Carney doesn't say this directly. Instead, when asked whether Bieber should get a Grammy he says: "Grammys are for like music, not for money ... and he's making a lot of money. He should be happy."
